A Collected Effort

While I have a great many projects in the works at the moment, a few novels floating about the ether, another sequel done and waiting in the wings, and a current novel well underway, one of my favorite up-and-coming things will be a collection of short stories.

I could credit a dozen or more friends, authors, and bloggers for the idea, but honestly, in today's publishing universe, putting out a short story collection becomes something of a no-brainer. You must do it. If you have any sense, you will probably do it.

I love the idea, to be honest, obvious or not, because I've always felt a sort of parental concern for my short fiction. I've mentioned before that placing one's short fiction is rather like trying to home a littler of ungainly puppies. I like puppies. I like my shorts. I want all of both to have wonderful homes. :)

So the hundredth or so time I heard someone say, Duh, idiot, you should do a short story collection, I listened. I'm a little stubborn, but I do learn in the end. The result product of my eventual enlightenment will be available soon in both e-book and trade paperback. It contains six, short science fiction stories (other collections in other genres are likely to follow) that are less infused with romance than my usual fare. (read that: these aren't the kissing stories) Good stories, most of which have appeared in print or e markets before, and one of which is a completely brand new story.

I hope you all like them. They are some of my favorites, and the title should give you an idea just how "seriously" I take them.

In reality, according to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, every year there are loads of injuries pertaining to power-driven industrial trucks, differently recognized as forklifts. Are you running a small scale business or a big one? Whatever be the case, anyways you will surely require a warehouse to keep your products. Moreover, you will surely be concerned about the safety of your warehouse. Thus to keep your products safe, you will surely require some good warehouse equipments like Wire Shelving and more. In fact, before going out to shop, its important to make a list of all the items that you need so that you can keep your warehouse safe. Your list will depend on a number of factors like what all kinds of products you would be storing in the warehouse and whether they would require any special kind of atmospheric conditions or not. They aren't really driven but operators nonetheless want to accomplish certification.
